On Christmas day it was three years since my last seizure! Excuse me as I take a moment to celebrate! WOOHOO!!! YIPEE!!!!!!!!!!! WAHOOOOOOOOO! PRAISE THE LORD!!!
God has brought me so far in the last three years. Chris and I were just discussing how crazy life had been when we didn't know what was going on. I had been confused, scared, and so debilitated by seizures. This state of confusion lasted on and off for about three years - the worst time being when I was pregnant with Landon and the three months after. Thankfully, God brought the right people into my life at the right times and after seeing a couple of doctors and having a few tests we were told that I was suffering from Complex Partial Seizures (CPS). Not only did I have CPS but I didn't really fit the usual symptoms so it would normally be difficult to diagnose. Nothing is too hard for the Lord though! After one failed attempt at medication I was put on the one that I am currently on that is working to combat the seizures. The doctor played with the dosage a little bit and I am on an extremely low dosage. That is also a blessing in itself. When I was on a higher dosage it caused a lot of odd side effects.
I am so very thankful to have my life back. I no longer feel like I am going crazy (well, at least not in this way - hahaha) and I don't feel like I have to hide what is going on from everyone around me. The side effects I was feeling from the medication seem to have almost disappeared over the last few months. I still have a few moments when I can't think clearly but most of the time I can actually put thoughts together! What a concept! I had been praying about that for a while and I can only give my praise to God! He truly takes care of me.
So, I am looking forward to another year with no seizures! Thank you all for your continued prayers!

Just to let you know...
I don'thave CPS but my memory went kapputz after having kids. I think babies not only take nutrients from your body while in the womb but they also suck out part of your brain. I have never been the same since and now old age is kicking in!
